1. When will people understand? If you’re not rich, you don’t matter to trump…

2. They voted for it. They’re dying to own the libs.

3. Have the day you voted for, rural America.

4. Early days. Give it a few years. Nursing homes will be tossing Grandmas out

5. 3 hour ambulance rides coming up …

6. Good thing hospitals and legacy research can just pop back up in 3.5 years! Oh wait? At least the deficit went down.. oh wait…

   Sad sad day

7. Damn that was fast. Were they just waiting for the call to close their doors?

8. Good. Fuck em.

9. >Unfortunately, the current financial environment, driven by anticipated federal budget cuts to Medicaid, has made it impossible for us to continue operating all of our services, many of which have faced significant financial challenges for years,

   These hospitals have been struggling for a while. Medicaid barely pays. They need other supports. So they were likely waiting to see if congress would save them.

   Congress did not.

10. Congratulations rural voters, who overwhelmingly voted for Trump! You got exactly what you wanted. Enjoy it!

11. They chose this.

    I’m good with it.

12. Here’s how it was explained to me: the Republicans fear National Health, or Medicare for everyone, or Universal health insurance. They can’t attack the ACA because it is too popular. They see the expansion of Medicare as a back door to National Health Insurance. So the Republicans are picking off the most vulnerable people first. It’s fine with them that poor people can’t access health care. Kicking however many people off Medicaid is the goal. These people are expendable because they are too poor or too sick to work and buy health insurance.

13. This seems really fast?

14. Rural America voted for this.

15. They can reap what they have sown.

    Sadly people who voted for Harris will suffer as well.

16. Anyone who voted for Trump is dead to me…even those closely related.

17. They don’t. I just finished having an argument with a person saying this is good because it will make people work. Really?? Enjoy dying

18. Cuts are not going to wait until 2026 to start. Now that the BBB has passed, hang on the cuts are here now

19. Let them ~~eat cake~~ die

20. Today, the face eating leopards feast…

21. I’m starting to think that voters shouldn’t be shielded from the consequences of their actions. They voted for this, and many will get hurt a lot more than me. So, who am I to stand in their way?

22. Everyone should really just call what the rich are doing to get their tax cuts “looting”.

23. Well rural America put this prick into power so let them get what they voted for.

24. I protect hospitals and other businesses will suffer, and in a couple years start funding Democrats to run against the Republicans

25. This will be bidens fault somehow… or because of obama’s tan suit
